Boss Info[]
After a meteorite crashed in Onett and his brother Picky went missing, Porky enlisted the help of Ness to rescue his brother. When the duo approached the meteorite they found a time traveling bug known as Buzz Buzz who told them a prophecy about four children who would defeat an entity named Giygas. Porky however didn’t believe it referred to him and went home. Some time later Porky was found again as a high priest in the Happy Happiest Cult. Porky would return a few more times, always in Ness’ way, until he was eventually revealed to have been working as Giygas’ right-hand man. When Giygas was defeated Porky used a time travel machine to escape into the future where he would rule as king until another PSI-using kid eventually defeated him.
Boss Fight Details[]
Porky Minch fights inside of his Bed Mecha used at the end of Mother 3. With this mecha Porky can scuttle like a crab from one side of the screen to the other as well as fire lasers and unleash the deadly Porky Bots!
Attacks[]
Stabbing Flurry[]
he legs on one side of Porky’s mecha will lift up and begin furiously stabbing forwards trying to poke an opponent full of holes. Naturally, the legs on whichever side of the mecha the player is on will be the legs that attempt to skewer them. Each hit does its own separate amount of damage, but it can build up without trouble.
Jump[]
Less of a move and more just a form of mobility, Porky’s gigantic mecha will lead up high into the and and on the way back down will attempt to crush the player. This move is highly damaging, but also easily telegraphed by Porky making it easy to dodge.
Walk[]
When Porky’s mecha walks from one side of the field to the other, making contact with it is damaging to the player and comes with decent knockback. How to avoid it? Just jump over Porky!
Energy Laser[]
A sphere of energy will begin to form up above the mecha and after a few moments an extremely quick thin laser will fire out from the orb and head directly for the player. If a player runs into the laser in the air it will hit them multiple times, however if the opponent is hit head on by the laser while on the ground, it’s a single devastating hit which can deal u p to 50% damage. On higher difficulties this move can easily KO opponents.
Lightning[]
Porky’s mecha will jump and hover in the air for a few seconds as it fires down a stream of electrical energy straight down. You can’t just avoid it by trying to jump and land on top of Porky either as the electricity surges through Porky’s mecha dealing a smaller amount of damage on contact. When Porky is low on health he can use this move up to three times in succession.
Porky Bots[]
Six of Porky’s Porky Bots will be fired from Porky’s mecha around it. These Porky Bots will run around and try to reach the player. If they’re able to do so they will self-destruct damaging both the player and any other Porky Bots that were next to them creating a chain reaction. If a Porky Bot is hit with a projectile they will trip and explode. Be careful doing this though as the explosion can hurt the player the same as if the Porky Bot had exploded on them intentionally.
Dash[]
A faster version of Porky’s Walk, this move will see Porky’s mecha hop just the slightest amount before bum rushing towards the player. This move can KI even when the player hasn’t take a lot of damage if they were foolish enough to hang out next to the blast zones.
